Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 72

It was as if by magic.

The teacher was quite astonished herself.

Pressing the power button, Colton watched as the previously unresponsive computer whirred back to life.

The teacher approached, clicked around with the mouse, and found everything intact. Her eyes widened in amazement as she said, "My word, Colton, you actually fixed my laptop."

Colton remained cool. "You are welcome."

Drusilla wiped her forehead silently on the side. She had thought she was about to spend a fortune and endure the teacher's complaints. Yet, here was Colton, fixing the laptop like it was no big deal.

The teacher stood up, turning to Drusilla apologetically. "I'm sorry, I assumed Colton had dismantled it, not realizing he was actually trying to fix it."

She had almost pegged Colton as a mischievous tyke!

Little did she know, he had the best intentions.

Drusilla was equally surprised. "It's okay. Colton likes taking things apart at home too."

At first, it was remote controls and alarm clocks. Sometimes, she'd set her alarm for the morning, only to wake up late because he had taken it apart.

Though she scolded him, he managed to fix them again, but she never imagined he'd move on to laptops.

The teacher was thrilled. "Colton is a genius! Truly amazing. You're so lucky to have a child like him. Oh, by the way, we have an event coming up in a few days. I wanted to let you know in advance."

"What event?"

"It's a community talent show sponsored by a local business. They've invited some kids to perform, and our daycare is participating. If they do well, there might even be a prize."

Colton and Cormac had been entering all sorts of little talent contests since they were in the toddler group, winning awards was nothing new for Drusilla.

"Okay, my little protectors," Drusilla chuckled, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness, "I've just been really busy lately, so I haven't spent much time with you guys. Once I'm free, I'll stay home with you, okay?"

"It's okay," Cormac said, "Colton and I can take care of ourselves, right?"

He glanced at Colton, who nodded, then shyly looked at Drusilla. He still wished for her company, but with Cormac taking the lead, he didn't want to seem needy.

...

Back home, Drusilla prepared some snacks for the boys, ensuring they went to bed early, before heading over to the Taylor household.

Harlan and Lilith were already there.

Enoch was still in his study, buried in work, while Harlan waited by the door.

Enoch had asked him over for an explanation, but now, he was left hanging outside, not even allowed in.
